Pulitzer Prize-winning "New York Times "national correspondent
Timothy Egan turns to fiction with The Winemaker's Daughter, a
lyrical and gripping novel about the harsh realities and ecological
challenges of turning water into wine.
When Brunella Cartolano visits her father on the family vineyard in
the basin of the Cascade Mountains, she's shocked by the
devastation caused by a four-year drought. Passionate about the
Pacific Northwest ecology, Brunella, a cultural impact analyst, is
embroiled in a battle to save the Seattle waterfront from
redevelopment and to preserve a fisherman's livelihood. But when a
tragedy among fire-jumpers results from a failure of the water
supply-her brother Niccolo is among those lost--Brunella finds
herself with another mission: to find out who is sabotaging the
area's water supply. Joining forces with a Native American Forest
Ranger, she discovers deep rifts rooted in the region's complicated
history, and tries to save her father's vineyard from drying up for
good . . . even as violence and corruption erupt around her.
